After hitting her head, Lin Zhao learned she was the foil character in a period novel about a stepmother raising children. She was supposed to have died today, but instead of dying, she awakened. The book’s content flashed through her mind—after her death, her twin sons became lickspittles and backup options, completely exploited, ending in tragic fates; her younger son was kidnapped at five and froze to death on the street; her younger daughter turned into a venomous female antagonist, constantly humiliated and emotionally and physically abused…

the whole family met tragic ends. Lin Zhao shook with rage—how much hatred did they have for her!? The book also called her a nagging, lazy daughter-in-law, occasionally dragging her out to berate her.
